----------------------------------|You are many things to others
but mostly a drowning fish
Scales that would gleam in
the midday sun like furbished leather
lie under greasy offerings
You are a drowning fish
and you do not struggle
You sink
tethered to the hearts
of hopeless others
nothing but an endless fall
towards singularity
Light grows dim at such depths
and it makes not a difference
your eyeballs were thrusted
from restful sockets
nearly twenty minutes past
Soon after that you
forgot to keep breathing
doesn't matter though
you were already done
years ago and time seems
to have gotten off the bus
The SOB left you to sulk in the pain
of a twenty-two hour heart attack
that should have lasted twenty-two seconds
It didn't phase you
nothing does
The tethers snap in an anticlimatic orgasm
now is the end of the elephant fall
Mindless man ripped and twisted decides to turn off
